BLACKHAWKS PROSPECT ALEXIS GRAVEL IS HEATING UP AT THE RIGHT TIME About next year: Gravel will turn pro in 2020-21 and the crease situation is somewhat crowded in Chicago. Robin Lehner has potential The Guy in Chicago for the foreseeable future. Kevin Lankinen is deserving of AHL time after an incredible World Championship performance for Finland. And Collin Delia is in the system until 2022, which furthers the logjam. Fortunately, the Hawks have time with Gravel, especially if Lehner can hold down the top job for another four seasons or so.

Alternatively, Lehner & Crawford could be gone next year, leaving Delia & Lankinen as the best options in-house for the NHL roster & giving Gravel a chance in the AHL.

'Tis possible.
If Lehner plays like last year, the Hawks can't afford him.
And if he plays (and drinks) like he did before last year, the Hawks shouldn't keep him.
It's a one year window of possibly getting cheap Vezina level goaltending.

He hits. That's the only thing I noticed. Can he play at the NHL level? I don't know, probably not. But I like him.

Bottom pair guy but you still need those guys in the NHL. I mean how much worse can he be than Carl or Slater?

I believe he'll be wearing a letter in Rockford. Didn't see much but I heard he impressed Hawks brass.

Great article in 'The Rink' about how the Hawks should send Boqvist to Rfd...forgetting of course he is only 19 and cant play in the AHL.
